The story ends positively and will inspire thoughtful discussion about war's impact, as well as the accompanying themes of friendship, trust, and perseverance." - VOYA "The occasional interruptions to the story build suspense and add a layer of resonance to Morpurgo's poignant and thoughtful exploration of the terrible impact of war on both sides of the fighting." - Booklist, "The novel's elegant structure and quiet, retrospective narration-both Michael's and Martha's-bolster this story about the importance of knowing the truth about one's heritage." - Publishers Weekly, Praise for A Medal for Leroy : "The novel's elegant structure and quiet, retrospective narration-both Michael's and Martha's-bolster this story about the importance of knowing the truth about one's heritage." - Publishers Weekly Praise for Shadow : " Shadow is the perfect book for classroom teachers looking for a contemporary tale of the old, sad story: war's devastating ramifications for everyone, including children." - The Horn Book "Morpurgo humanizes the asylum story through one refugee boy's viewpoint." - Booklist "Heart-rending and heart-affirming…" - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Shadow succeeds in evoking empathy and inspiring readers to take a stand for their beliefs." - School Library Journal, Praise for A Medal for Leroy : "The novel's elegant structure and quiet, retrospective narration-both Michael's and Martha's-bolster this story about the importance of knowing the truth about one's heritage." - Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
When Michael's aunt passes away, she leaves behind a letter that will change everything. It starts with Michael's grandfather Leroy, a black officer in World War I who charged into a battle zone not once but three times to save wounded men. His fellow soldiers insisted he deserved special commendations for his bravery but because of the racial barriers, he would go unacknowledged. Now it's up to Michael to change that. Inspired by the true story of Walter Tull, the first black officer in the British army, award-winning author Michael Morpurgo delivers a richly layered and memorable story of identity, history, and family.
